Carlos Manuel Brito Leal Queiroz was born 1953 in Nampula, Portuguese Mozambique is a Portuguese football coach. He has served as the manager of his native Portugal’s national team on two occasions, the United Arab Emirates, South Africa and homeland, leading South Africa (2002), Portugal (2010) and homeland (2014 and 2018) to the FIFA World Cup.
This gives him a historic and personal connection to Mozambique rather than just a financial or speculative one. According to reports from SOL (a Portuguese publication) in 2011, Queiroz was involved in business in Mozambique through Niassalândia Lda. The business activities included mining (gemstones, precious and semi-precious minerals), as well as wood exploitation. The “Ilha de Vazimi” is mentioned in the reports — but locating independent, reliable data specifically about “Vazimi Island” is difficult. It’s not one of the most well-known Mozambican islands in common tourism or conservation literature.
